Al Mar Knives' Ultralights

As president of Al Mar Knives, Gary Fadden, a fellow Green Beret and friend of Al Mar's, is focusing on Al's best selling designs. The Ultralight^™ series, which Al Mar Knives began producing several years before Al died, made use of a concept that W. C. Davis and I pioneered in the early 1970s; a linerless phenolic resin (Micarta®) handle. This is a great way to make a strong, lightweight folding knife, the heavy weight metal of liners and bolsters is removed.

Today this Ultralight^™ series is available in three sizes, all with the linerless handle of black Micarta® and flat ground drop point blades of AUS-8 at 57-59 Rc. with a thumb stud for easier opening. Each model is available in either plain edge or 60/40 plain/serrated. All three are the front lock design used by AMK from its inception. Made in Japan.
